QA studies in low/high impedance circuits

In this deliverable, we will report on the downselection process carried out to determine the optimal qubit type to build a large-scale quantum annealer. The downselection will compare qubits with low (IFAE) and high (KIT) impedance. Selection metrics will also include: crosstalk, coherence, reproducibility, scalability, noise.In addition, we will report on studies of the quantum annealing efficiency as function of qubit coherence, non-adiabatic schemes. The device will also be reprogrammed to implement quantum simulations (analogue & digital) and variational quantum algorithms.
